Blue Grass. Erin, the South, and the
West on Common Ground.
Yesterday was booming day at drill
headquarters, 1900 Pennsylvania avenue.
Early in the day Capt. Ernest Macpherson,
commanding company A, Of the Louisville
Legion, called and had long conference
with Secretary De Leon as to the rules and
conditions for entry Of large bodies Of men.
Capt. Macpherson's credentials from Col.
John B. Castlemal, adjutant general Of
Kentucky, show him to represent Gov.
Knott and the adjutant generals depart
ment. Later in the day the Kentucky
soldier called on Gen. Ordway, and ex-
pressed high satisfaction at the progress
and principle Of the drill under the rules
recently issued. This visit will probably
result In the entry of an important X. s. q.
legion, comprising the first regiment of
Louisville, Mausir's famous Light Battery,
and several infantry companies from other
towns Of the old "dark and bloody
ground"
Another important accession OF large
body OF troops will probably result from an
other conference yesterday held at head
quarters, Secretary Dc Leon aHd Chairman n
+. p. Madigan representing the committee
and Capt. j. Francis Baker, adiutant; Capt
Murphy, Of the Emmett Guard, and Mr..
Moore speaking for the Irish-American
Military Union.
There has been an arrangement since last
May that this large body OF soldiers should
hold their annual camp and convention
here in the four last days of the coming
May. The proposition is now to turn the
entire brigade (said to comprise at least
seventeen well.drilled companies) into the
national scamp George Washington"
around the monument to bis memory.
itself, but besides new companies from
Texas, Virginia, New York, and Wisconsin
were heard from and furnished with rules
and information on doubtful points.
To-day headquarters will be closed, In
honor to the birthday Of the godfather to
the coming camp.

Lively at the Carnival.

The sold Guard" had every reason to be
proud Of their fair last night. Willard
Hall was crowded to an almost uncomfort-
able degree, but the money rolled In and
the veterans hearts were gladdened by Its
CHECKING. The scene was extremely fasci-
mating, and when the hour OF 10 arrived
was more lovely still, for the floor was COW
cred with a mass of color the brilliant
scarlet of the Rifles' uniform and the
variegated costumes Of the flower girls and
other lady attendants mingled with the blue
and gold OF the Veteran Corps.
The National Rifles were the visiting
company and they turned out forty-three
men In uniform, The average young man
who attendsthe fair with extreme regularity
was completely out Of Joint, for the gay
garments OF the 'sojer laddies' were irre-
sistible, and the aforesaid regular young
man bad night off on dancing.
Shortly before 10 o'clock four children,
two boys and two girls, took possession OF
the floor and executed several fancy dances
In very good style.
There is u lunch served every day at 12
noon at 10 cents, Mrs. Pomeroy and Mrs
Claryoe being In charge. To day the mart
will be open all day, and this evening the
Continentals and Grand Army men will be
the guests. The ladies Of the Grand Army
booth, No. 4, are hoping for great things
from the visiting "vets."

IsTHMIAN NEGOTIATIONS.
Response by the President to Inquirie


from the House Of Representatives.
The President yesterday sent to the House
the response Of the Secretary Of State to a
resolution OF that body inquiring as to the
action taken by the Department Of State TO
protect the interests Of American citizens
whose property was destroyed by fire
caused by insurgents at Aspinwall In 1885.
The Secretary says that negotiations
were commenced In October last and are
now pending between the United States
and Columbia for the purpose OF establish
ing an international commission to whom
may be referred for adjustment the claims
OF citizens Of the United States against the
government of Colombia growing out OF
these instructions. The secretary says IL
is understood to be the duty Of the govern.
ment OF Colombia under treaty stipulations
between the United States and New
Granada Of the 18th Of December, 1916, TO
keep the transit across the lsthmus of Pan
anna, upon any modes Of communication
existing then or thereafter constructed,
open and free to the government aud citi-
zens OF the United States for the transpor-
tation of lawful commerce OF citizens OF
the United States. This duty, the
Secretary says, was expressly acknowl-
edged by the government OF New GRANADA
In former claims convention with the
bbittu pthteb, anu III WHICH IL was tuon
agreed that there should be referred to q
commission all claims Of the corporations,
companies, or individuals, citizens Of the
United States, upon the government Of
New Granada, and especially those for
damages which were caused by the riot at
Panama on the 18th Of April, 1856, and for
which the government of New Granada ac-
knowledged It's liability, arising out Of its
privilege and obligation to preserve good
order along the transit route. This con.
vention was afterward extended by con.
vention between the United States and the
United States of Colombia.
The Secretary continues;
On several occasions the government OF the
United States at the instance, and always
with the assent of Colombia, has, In times of
civil tumult, sent Its armed forces TO the
lsthmus, OF Panama. to preserve American clti.
zens and property along the transit from inju-
fies which the government Of Colombia might
at the time be unable to prevent. But In TAX
ing such steps this government has always
recognized rec the soverelgnty and obligations
OF Colombia In the premises, and has never
Acknowledged, but, on tho contrary. has ex-
pressly disclaimed the duty of protecting the
transit against domestic disturbance.

Congress in the present state of negotiations

and the government Of Colombia respecting
the pending convention.

A DEPRESSED MARKET.
Influenced by the German Elections
Hpeculation IL Limited.

New York, Feb. 21.--The general In
terest in the German elections and the near
approach Of the holiday acted as dampers
upon the speculation to-day, and the
market was tho dullest Of the .season.
There was absolutely no interest in any
thing but Reading, which contributed con-
siderably over one-third OF the entire busi-
ness done. The depressed and gloomy tone
OF the advicos from Europe, together with
the dullness and apathy manifested by the
local operators and the renewal OF gold
shipments, gave O sagging tendency TO
prices which became apparent when ever
there was any noticeable activity whatever.
The opening was generally firm, though
the changes from Saturdays closing quota
tions were for insignificant fractions only.
There was renewal OF the depression In
the last hour, and though the market closed
shade better than the lowest figures gen.
orally, |. was barely steady.
Money on call has been easy, ranging
from 81 Al, last loan at 81, and closing
at q bid. The market has been more active,
with the usual Mondays demand, with the
steady but dull, with few commercial bills
Offering and little demand for bankers bills
Actual business at 4S5l to 4S5a for 60
